Fedora Core: Install from SRPMs?

[Nexist]

I am preparing to install the Fedora Core project on my system, & I noticed that there are three iso images, & three SRPM iso images.

Can one install from the SRPM images and have a source based distro, or am I just dreaming?

You first need some sort of base system along with the development packages and rpm/rpmbuild installed though figuring out the order to compile and install the src rpm packages would be a pain.

rpmbuild --rebuild <packagename>

Might be possible, but you would be better off just doing a normal installation.
